Nelson Mandela remains hospitalized in “serious but stable” condition, but a phony Twitter account has fooled many into believing Piers Morgan announced Mandela’s death. The fake announcement was re-tweeted over a thousand times:

Note the handle: @Piersrnorgan.

Astute Twitter users took notice:

I've died 4x. RT @redsteeze: @BecketAdams Everyone dies at least 3 time on Twitter. I think this is only 2 for Mandela.
